Michigan football gets another transfer portal commitment from in-conference
The maize and blue haven’t been quite as active in the transfer portal this cycle as the last, but thus far, they’ve been snipers.
First, it was stealing away Maryland star defensive player in second-year starting linebacker Jaishawn Barham — someone who had given the Wolverines fits the past two years. Now, Michigan looked into the other division to take a starting player from Northwestern.
The Wolverines just got a commitment from Northwestern guard Josh Priebe, a former three-star prospect from Edwardsburg, Michigan, a town in the southwest of the state. Priebe will be entering his fifth year and started the previous three.

Priebe has one year of eligibility remaining. He graded out in the low 60s across offense, pass blocking and run blocking in 2023 according to PFF. In 2020, he had offers from Michigan football, Ohio State, Auburn, Tennessee, MSU, Miami and more.
Priebe will likely take the guard spot that will not be occupied by Giovanni El-Hadi, who has filled in at times on the left side over the past few years when Trevor Keegan was injured.
